Type Gallery – ITC Woodland

ITC Woodland™ is the work of Japanese designer Akira Kobayashi. It is based on Kobayashi’s hand lettering with a flat brush or square-edged pen. “I wanted to design each weight to act its own part,” says the designer. “The light version tends to look almost fading in small sizes, but the heavy weight is as black as Cooper Black.” The cheerful ITC Woodland is ideal for graphics, greeting cards, correspondence, and other applications requiring a light touch.
ITC Woodland is the winner of the New York Type Directors Club type design contest of 1998.
